In general, animals are more gifted than humans in the areas of intuition and sensitivity. We are non-judgmental, loyal, loving and playful. Animals are aware of their human companion’s emotions and feelings and are responsive to their moods. These positive qualities of animals in turn help children develop self-esteem and construct trusting relationships with others. Senior citizens can benefit tremendously from animal companionship - physically, psychologically and socially. On today’s program, we explore how animal companionship improves the lives of children and the elderly.

“I had never heard anything like it... Oh, my God, tears flowed from our cheeks,” Ms. Payne was describing the song of the first male humpback whale she and Dr. Roger Payne, an American conservationist, biologist and cetologist had ever heard. Dr. Roger Payne was the first person to release a vinyl record that introduced the magnificent songs of the humpback whale to the world.

The basic principle is that a dog learns best when his or her natural behavior is incorporated into the training. Then, what are these techniques? And what should we humans do if we want our dog friend to pay attention to us?

They also like to have fun, and there is an idiom that fits them perfectly: “As much fun as a barrel of monkeys!”

While abundant in polar waters, they are spread all over the world. Whether in cold or warm waters, fur seals are perfectly adapted to the sea. They can dive to great depths and for a long span of time. Although fur seals can’t swim as fast as dolphins and whales, they are agiler and able to turn direction much more quickly than dolphins and whales can. Their enlarged lenses allow them to see both in and out of the water. Their vision underwater is even better than that of humans.

Why do we migrants leave the coziness of our homes? Most humans wouldn’t like to do so. But in our case, migration is essential for survival. With the coming of winter we worry whether there will be enough food. We rely on having constant and various food resources. Therefore, we know when it’s time to move somewhere else that has ample food to meet our needs.

Every year, millions of birds participate in this seasonal movement called migration. It’s a big event for we birds and a great wonder of nature. Today I’ll do my best to explain more about bird migration. There are many different species of birds that go on such amazing journeys.

Scientists use the term “habitat fragmentation” to describe the problem of roads, rail lines, power lines, pipelines and other infrastructure, segmenting a formerly open wildlife habitat.

To assess animal intelligence from a human perspective is not a simple task. Animals and humans obviously communicate differently. People do not often interact with animals living in the wild, so they do not get much of a chance to observe and gain a deep understanding of animals on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this may lead some humans to assume that animals only act on instinct and do not have sophisticated cognitive abilities. However, now humans are opening a new chapter of scientific study in complex animal cognition or mental capacity with previous misperceptions being corrected.
